In March 2007, Nanjing Automobile Group, which bought MG Rover's remaining assets during bankruptcy proceedings, restarted production of the MG TF at its Nanjing factory, with a capacity of 200,000 cars a year. Experts from the Longbridge factory were involved in building the new TFs in Nanjing.

In August 2008, more than three years after the facility had closed due to MG Rover's bankruptcy, assembly of a lightly-revised MG TF model for the European market, from Chinese-built complete knock down (CKD) kits, was started by NAC MG UK at Longbridge.

The first TF model to be produced by NAC MG UK was the TF LE500. As the name suggests this was a limited edition of 500 cars each individually numbered. The better suspension set-up and the heated rear window from the 2005 model TF were carried over to the LE500, however, various changes were made including a restyled front grille and bumper. The LE500 specification includes leather seats, hard top and soft top, wind stop, CD tuner with MP3 compatibility, rear parking sensors, 16-inch 11-spoke alloy wheels, and front fog lights.

The LE500 was followed by a TF 135 model and a further limited edition TF 85th Anniversary, of which only 50 were produced.

Production of the TF at Longbridge was suspended again in October 2009 due to low demand in face of the recession. There will be at least one more production run of the current TF before its replacement arrives in 2011.

In 2002 the MG TF was released, named after the classic MG TF. Based upon the MGF platform but heavily redesigned and re-engineered, the most significant mechanical changes were the abandonment of Hydragas suspension in favour of conventional coil springs, the new design of the air-induction system that along with new camshafts produces more power than in MG F engines, and the torsional stiffness of the body increased by 20%. Various cosmetic changes include a revised grille, redesigned front headlights, bumpers, side air-intake grills, rear boot, etc. The MG TF was the first car of its class to be awarded a leading 4-star safety performance from Euro NCAP.

Like the MG F before it, the MG TF outsold the rest of the competition put together in the UK every year throughout its production life. Production was suspended in 2005 when MG Rover collapsed.

MG MGF Mark II (MK 2)

The MG MGF Cars Mark II (MK 2) underwent a facelift in Autumn of 1999 and gave the car a revised interior as well as styling tweaks and fresh alloy wheels designs. There was also the introduction of a base 1.6 version and a more powerful 160 hp (119 kW) variant called the Trophy 160, which had a 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds. It was only produced for a limited time. An automatic version with a CVT called the Steptronic was also introduced. The MG F continued to sell well in spite of the sale of the Rover Group, which was announced in March 2000. Land Rover was sold to Ford, while the MG and Rover marques were sold to the Phoenix consortium for £10. In spite of competition from the likes of Mazda MX-5, BMW Z3 and Audi TT, the MG F still proved fairly popular.

MG Mgf SP Performance MGF Cheetah

In early 1997, Stephen Palmer at SP Performance offered modifications to the 1.8 K-Series engine. Notably a supercharger, boosting power from 143 to 207 bhp (154 kW; 210 PS). The 0-60 time was reduced from 8.5 to a claimed 5.5 seconds and the top speed increased to a limited 150 mph (240 km/h). The brakes were upgraded to competition discs with ABS wrapped up in 17" alloy wheels. Other differences were a beefier bodykit and an aerodynamically aiding adjustable front splitter. The complete package cost £29,500, and although that sounds expensive, it was still only the same price as a 2.8 litre BMW Z3 and £4,000 less than the Lotus Elise Sport. It was referred to, in SP Performance's original press release, as "The Affordable Supercar".

MG Mgf History

The MG MGF Cars was launched in the autumn of 1995 by the MG Rover Group, making it the third all-new cars to be launched in its first full year since the BMW takeover. It was powered by a 1.8 L K-Series 16-valve engine, the basic having 118 hp (87 kW) while the more powerful VVC (variable valve control) had 145 hp (107 kW). Rover Special Projects oversaw the development of the F's design and before finalising the styling bought-in outside contractors to determine the most appropriate mechanical configuration for the new MG MGF Cars. Steve Harper of MG MGA Developments produced the initial design concept in January 1991 (inspired by the Jaguar XJR-15 and the Ferrari 250LM), before Rover's in house design team refined and the concept under the leadership of Gerry McGovern. An interesting feature of the MG MGF Cars was its Hydragas suspension, a system employing interconnected fluid and gas displacers which provided a surprisingly compliant ride but which could be tuned to provide excellent handling characteristics. The folding soft top mechanism was licensed from Mazda as used in their MX5, which simplified the design process. The MG MGF Cars quickly shot to the top of the affordable sports car charts in Britain and remained there until the introduction of the MG TF in 2002.

MG Mgf Cars - Equipment, Safety & Security

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

In keeping with MG tradition there aren't too many toys in the MGF, but you do get electric windows and central locking as standard, together with a decent stereo which can still be heard with the roof down due to the MGF's low levels of wind noise and buffeting. On the options list is a six-CD autochanger and air conditioning. Also available later will be a luggage rack for the boot, ski & bike carriers, and of course MGF mudflaps.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

MG have always claimed "Safety Fast", and this is very applicable to the MGF. Rover claim that the F is amongst the stiffest sports cars ever produced. Having the engine at "mid-ships" leaves a large crumple zone at the front end, add to this door beams and waistline rails for side-impact protection, a windscreen which includes a high-tensile steel roll bar, seatbelt pre-tensioners and airbags, and you get one of the strongest and safest sports cars on the road at the current time.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

The MGF has remote-control "superlocking" (deadlocking) and an engine immobiliser. The alarm protects the car even while the hood is down, and the stereo has a removable front panel. The boot can only be opened by the key, and the bonnet can only be opened from inside the boot, giving the MGF a high level of security as standard.

By putting the engine in the middle, Rover have been able to use its tried and tested transverse engine layout, whilst retaining the ability to use rear wheel drive. This also means they are able to use an equally tried and tested gearbox (from Honda), which is the same as is fitted to the Rover 600 and hence offers a gearchange with lots of feel, but it a little imprecise.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

Like a true sportscar the MGF has fully independent suspension with double wishbones both at the front and rear. This is damped by the now well tuned Hydragas suspension system (first seen on the Allegro!) instead of more conventional springs and dampers. This is fine tuned through the use of anti-roll bars both front and rear.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

The MGF's steering is by rack and pinion, but get the VVC model (or pay for the option) and you get the new speed-sensitive electric power steering system which works in a similar manner to that of the Honda NSX. Brakes are servoed discs all round with the ABS optional on the 1.8i and standard on the VVC.

Hidden somewhere in the middle of the MGF is an engine. It is brand new, totally British, and also happens to be very good too since it is based on the very successful K-series engine.
For the MGF, the K-series engine has been bored and stroked out to 1,796cc. This required Rover to come up with the "damp" liner, ultra-lightweight pistons, and a plastic inlet manifold. All this results in 118bhp at 5,500rpm and 121 lb/ft at 3,000rpm. Rover claim that this results in a top speed of 120mph, and a 0-60 time of 8.5 seconds.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

By the end of the year, there will be a more powerful version with VVC - Variable Valve Control. Unlike Honda's V-TEC engine, VVC offers an infinitely variable cam period between two limits, though the amount of lift remains constant. The VVC equipped K-series has 25% more power (143bhp @ 7,000rpm) and 5% more torque (128lb/ft @ 4,500rpm). Fuel consumption should remain the same, but the VVC is 10mph faster with a max of 130mph and should reach 60 in seven seconds.

For such a small car the interior space is very generous, there is a large amount of leg room and plenty of headroom even when the roof is up. Other interior features are typically Rover, which generally fit in well with the overall look of the interior of the car.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

The mid-engined layout leads to a high rear end to the car, and the rapidly disappearing bonnet line behind the relatively high dashboard could lead to visibility problems for the shorter MGF driver. But to compensate for this the almost fixed driving position is quite high in the cars, giving the feeling that you are sitting on the car rather than in it.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

Rover has done well to cram so much equipment into a cars so small. And it is claimed that the boot is big enough to take two sets of golf clubs in relative comfort (7.4cu ft). Although there is space under the bonnet, most of this is taken up by the radiator, battery, ABS unit, and space-saver spare wheel, and is exposed to road dirt and grime.

Not surprisingly seeing that the last "real" MG was 30 years ago, the MGF has very few styling links with its predecessors beyond the octagon-badged grille, which is very reminiscent of the MGB. The car seems the have an impressive ability to look thoroughly modern, whilst still having a certain classical MG look.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

It is fairly high-waisted, and though the front arches cut well into the body at the front, they do little to avoid the MGF looking slightly flat-sided. The MGF looks very pretty with the roof down, and equally so when the neat and easy fitting hood is up. There is also a hard top which can be easily fitted without the need to remove the existing folding roof, which is available for just a little under one thousand pounds.

The MG Mgf Cars was unveiled at this years Geneva Motor Show, and is the first all-new MG since the MGB way back in 1962. Unlike the recent MG RV8, which was little more than a facelifted MGB, the MGF is a thoroughly modern sportster bristling with the latest in auto technology.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

The MG Mgf Cars is a small two-seater sports car which was styled by Rover's in-house design team, and boasts a mid-engined rear-drive layout. It is a 100% British design, Honda took no real part in it, and BMW arrived too late to have any major influence upon it.

Picture Of MG Mgf Cars

The MG Mgf Cars is similar in size to what will be its main rival, the Mazda MX-5, and it has a very appealing and attractive shape. Rover have described it as a "candid camera car - nobody is sure where the engine is", this is because the bonnet appears long and high compared to other mid-engined cars, yet remains too short for a front-engined car.

The mid-engined layout is a first for Rover in a production car, and the unique VVC (Variable Valve Control) engine is a first for anyone. It also has the now finely honed Hydragas suspension and new speed-sensitive electric power steering.
